Social Development Programme Management Handbook

The South African economy is unique, and its structure continues to be shaped by the country's colonial and apartheid legacy. The sluggish, slow rate of economic growth continues to compound the triple challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality in the country. To date, developmental progress has been uneven across all dimensions of the socio-economic landscape and new ideas are needed to deliver transformative outcomes. South African project management professionals are faced with complex socio-economic and political challenges in delivering their projects or programes. Some of these challenges are bureaucratic governance systems, coping with fast changes, evolving business demands from clients and regulators, and community or society needs and demands. This book seeks to provide solutions to these complex challenges and intricacies faced by the project management professionals in delivering strategy or implementing policies in South Africa.
